This thought-provoking book provides a counter-view to the traditional view of heaven as wispy spirits wearing golden crowns, clutching harps and singing the Hallelujah Chorus. It examines what the Bible has to say about heaven and eternal life, concentrating on the biblical promise of a new Earth. Following the laying of biblical foundations, the author gives visions of life on the new Earth, asking what it may be really like. The final chapter explores the contemporary implications.
